Actually the classic RT has a smaller diameter valve, which I just mesured mine for you, and it measures .995, which I believe is the same diameter fit as the mainbody, so all that would need to be done would be a longer tube, and a larger hole where the banjo bolt goes through
not sure about the Zlock, on the classic RT its cut into the body, not the rail

An RT length tube sounds like it would be do-able, though I have my doubts about the z-lock configuration. CF tube isn't exactly strong in the direction the z-lock would push if the banjo bolt were to fail, so there is a bit of a safety concern there. If Shane-O and me can get ahold of an RT to check out I may be able to come up with a solution.

In the meantime I'm work on finalizing the prints and model for the machinist to quote me. Once I have that quote, I can do some number crunching and see if we can start a preorder. I think thats the safest option for everyone involved with the project. My machinist is pretty quick so after I get the quotes it wouldn't be long before complete units would be ready to ship. Let me work a few things on my end and I'll post an update in a couple of days.

Along with that I'd like to thank everyone who has given input and shown interest in this project! I really enjoy this type of work and it goes right along with what I'm studying in school, so its a perfect match. Once again, thanks guys!

I think the micromag design is very cool. I think the money spent on those bodies will be well preserved in value. I would like to have one and may sign up.

My problem is that I'm not really a pretty marker collector and I have never had a use for anything other than a vertical feed. The rotary breech makes the body useful to many people, but I don't buy new stuff with the idea of selling it to someone else.

The CF body is a fundamental design that I could put on a couple of markers, whereas the micromag begs to be a whole different mag and feed system.

It is great to have choices in mag parts again.

I was thinking of purchasing this carbon body and slapping one of thoose frames with rails that pnuemagger was designing.. i hope he is still going todo thoose.

I finished a preliminary print for my machinist to quote from and he is working on that. He said he should get a quote back to me early this coming week. I am finalizing up the design and getting everything set up for a production run. Some final thoughts I need to know from you guys:

1. What feedneck threads?
2. What ball detent threads? Single or double?
3. What barrel threads?
4. Include feedneck with body?
5. Include detents with body?

I had planned on basically copying the ULE body specs and using an Angel threaded feedneck and detents and 'Cocker barrel threads. I am going to include the washer and c-clip with the body of course, but should I also include detents and a feedneck? If I were to include those, what brand/style would you guys want? Of course it would add to the final cost of the body, but its something to consider. I was thinking of including the detents but no feedneck so the customer can install whatever style they feel fit with.

Let me know what you want!

I say keep it simple. AGD standards are good and easy (for AGD collectors and enthusiasts). The double detent is a plus though!

Of course, as it'll be a new body for everyone, I'd like to have mine with detents and feedneck installed as well.

Dual detents would be great, I would like to see it with the option of getting it without feedneck or detents to keep the cost down. Keep the threading the same as ule body. Glad to see this unfolding.

I like your idea, skyless. I'm thinking along the lines of no feedneck option as there's just too many out there to boil down to one style for everyone, and an option for AGD detents for a little more. I too would like to stick to ULE body standards to keep it simple.

CCM has a thread thats for CCM guns feednecks which is supposedly stronger than any others. I will check with them and see what they say. Angel threaded feednecks seem to be harder to find, anyone else have trouble finding them? Double detents or single, I dont think it really matters. Has anyone actually had a problem with only one detent? And again what is the availability of angel threaded detents?
